Your notebook only has support for one M.2 NVMe SSD.

 

If you need more storage, you will have to remove the existing NVMe SSD and install one having a greater storage capacity.

 

Chapter 1 of the service manual has the memory upgrade information:

If you want to install more than 2 x 8 GB of memory, you can run this command to see if that would be possible:

 

1. In the search box, search for cmd and click Run as administrator.

 

This will open the command prompt.

 

2. After the command prompt is opened, type wmic memphysical get maxcapacityEx and press the enter key.

 

There, it will show the maximum RAM capacity your PC's motherboard can support.

 

The capacity is shown as Kilobytes, so you have to convert it to Gigabytes by dividing the number provided in the report by 1,048,576.
